Chapter 55: Elarius the Monster

The presiding judge of the Inquisition was a young man, quite likable in appearance, but in character, as Amun, the patriarch of the Tsmihi, said, an out-and-out monster— When the king was still young and all the power was in the hands of Bishop Mazarin and Queen Mother Anne, he did not care about the king, because the king could not give him any benefit, nor could he let him go further, and the relationship between him and Bishop Mazarin was more akin to buying and selling than that of his subordinates, and as soon as Bishop Mazarin gave him money, he would guarantee a day of peace in Paris, and if not, then the vampires would kill people around him, and he did not care.

Although such behavior would be rebuked by the old-fashioned monks and paladins, Elarius didn't care...... Yes, who the king of France is has anything to do with him? Is it related to the Inquisition? No, from the very beginning, the ridiculous people who fought against the dark creatures of the Inner World put themselves in an awkward position, they would be fine if they were true angels and saints, but they would also be cold, hungry, thirsty for love, and need to multiply...... As a human being, he put himself in the position of stone carving clay sculpture, and it is no wonder that he has not been able to fight for his rightful position. 、

Elelius' only regret was that he was born in 1625, not 625, and the last struggle the Caspian patriarchs could have made was to establish the Inquisition, but not only did they fail to achieve true freedom, but they aroused the vigilance of the Holy See - they kept trying to take into their pockets the power that did not belong to mortals, like his predecessor, the presiding judge, but he probably did not expect that although he went to Rome and cowered under the papal robes, Elelius still had a way to kill him.

Ilarius couldn't help but laugh at the thought of that incredulous face, Elelius had previously succumbed to him, not because he was afraid of him, but because he could not get around the harsh and conservative laws for the time being, but since he had been appointed by the Pope, from a presiding judge to an archbishop, the betrayal of the inner world was enough to make a cruel judgment on the superiors.

But for Elelius, what if such a temptation was placed in front of him? Archbishops, or even cardinals, it is difficult for anyone not to be impressed, after all, the judges and presiding judges of the Inquisition have a small income, let alone the monks and paladins, but as long as they become ...... Even a bishop immediately had a domain like a king, where he could collect taxes, buy and sell the priesthood, holy things, pensions, settlements and all sorts of other expenses, and even his own church and monastery - their children could not be officially recognized, but boys could go directly to the Holy See, become clergy, and then continue to climb the ladder, and girls could marry nobles, and even dukes and royal families.

Where are they like them, obviously with extraordinary strength, but they still have to wag their tails like dogs, hoping that their owners can throw a bone with some meat down......

But for those people in the inner world, Elarius also thinks it is understandable, although they are miserable, the people in the inner world are even more dangerous and difficult, they can't leave the inner world, and they need the support of the outer world to survive in the inner world, so they must not let the Holy See or other forces cut off their tentacles that reach out to the outer world, and separate them from them, so that they have no hope at all- Elalho's predecessor was also said to have been a strong-willed man, but after twenty years of perseverance, he finally wavered and was finally found by Elalho, who probably would never have imagined that the person who recommended him to the Pope was Bishop Richelieu and then Bishop Mazarin.

Speaking of which, when he first appeared before Bishop Richelieu, Elelius was only a child who had been allowed to come to the world for the first time, but he had always been smarter and more knowledgeable than others, and when he looked at the people around him, he knew what awaited him—either to die in obscurity, or twenty or thirty years later, to be replaced by a younger person, and return to the perilous world with what little savings he had.

Bishop Richelieu and Bishop Mazarin, of course, preferred that the Inquisition in Paris be in the hands of "their own", and the Patriarchs of the Caspian World could not have imagined that a young man who was only a small man to them could have such courage and scheming - Ilarius did not ask too much, he did not want to attract the attention of those people, and with the power of two bishops who held great power one after another, he climbed up slowly, little by little, until now, he finally became the presiding judge, but is he satisfied? Of course not.

The moonlight threw himself into the window, and Louis looked at the face of the inquisitor sitting opposite him, a vile villain, and he did not hide it at all—he had done only one thing wrong, and that was to treat Louis as an ignorant child, and perhaps for him, it would not be too late to appear before the king in two years—and now it was a waste of energy and time, first, that the king might not remember: that children always had a bad memory, and second, that the king had no real power, and no money, and that he would not get any tangible benefits.

But as soon as he found out that the king was not the naïve and stupid little guy he thought he was, he immediately appeared, not even a judge of the Inquisition, but himself.

Louis remembered that Bishop Mazaran had said before introducing him to Elelius that Elelius was not the real name of this person, and that every monk from the Inner World would choose a saint's name for himself, so Elelius could be said to be false from name to attitude, and then from attitude to thought, but he was exactly the kind of person that any ruler needed, because of the threat of the Inner World, he could not lean towards the Holy See, but he still secretly threw himself into the two bishops.

Neither Richelieu nor Mazarin took him to heart, but handed him over to the Inquisition or the Holy See, and he was finished. At that time, he had only been out of the inner world for twelve days.

This is a bold and crazy man.

"Be of good cheer," said Iralius, noticing the king's gaze, and smiled, "just a few Nophies, rats crawling in the sewers." ”

The king really wanted to ask where Elarius was when the vampire appeared in his bedroom.

Ilarius also thought about it, and his smile widened a little: "We also have to be sympathetic to His Highness's feelings for the royal family." ”

Louie pressed the corner of his forehead, "Don't tell me ......"

Elelius, of course, would not really keep silent: "Order, Your Majesty, order is the most important thing, we are not madmen, neither is Prince Hilperik of Van Zhuo, and we also have common enemies and friends." ”

Louis raised his head: "What kind of enemy, what kind of friend?"

"It's hard to say," says Elelius, "that things are always changing." ”
